JUVENTUS - LAZIO August 31, 2013 6:45 PM BST Juventus Stadium — Torino Referee:‬ P. Tagliavento‎ Juventus v Lazio: Preview Aug 30, 2013 Juventus head coach Antonio Conte is bracing himself for a backlash as Lazio arrive in Turin on a revenge mission. The Biancocelesti suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at their own Stadio Olimpico base in a curtain-raising Supercoppa meeting two weeks ago. http://markting10.nl/ But while reigning Serie A champions Juve laboured to a 1-0 win at Sampdoria on the opening weekend, Lazio showed they were made of stronger stuff by beating Udinese 2-1. Conte is under no illusions that the capital club will be determined to right recent wrongs while potentially pulling three points clear with victory at the Juventus Stadium. The Bianconeri boss told juventus.com: ``It will be a test for the heart and the head before it is a test for our legs. ``The Supercoppa defeat will give them something extra and tomorrow will be completely different game. ``We picked up a trophy in Rome and we're happy to have done so but there's less difference between us and them than the scoreline suggested. ``Lazio will fight for the top spots and they always do, it will be the same tomorrow. ``They will make things difficult for us but we want to do the same to them.'' Conte also bemoaned the fact striker Alessandro Matri had been sold to AC Milan due to a lack of funds in northern Turin. He added: ``With a few exceptions, including Napoli, clubs have to sell before they can buy and we have to make back the 20million euros we spent on (Carlos) Tevez, (Fernando) Llorente and (Angelo) Ogbonna. ``I'm not worried about this situation, even if it is obvious that I don't like having to sell players to buy others. ``But we are forced to do so and that's why coaches go cap in hand to their clubs.'' Biancocelesti boss Vladimir Petkovic also believes his players' performance in the Supercoppa was not a true reflection of their true ability, especially considering the fact Udinese were beaten at the same stadium a week later. ``We weren't in peak condition, but we're developing as we displayed against Udinese,'' he told reporters. ``Now we want to pick up some points in Turin and we need to play as we did in the first half last weekend. ``We must not be in a rush to score, what we need to do is play with quality and awareness, giving as good as we get and looking to make the most of every opportunity that comes our way.'' Despite recent experiences the Bosnian does not believe Juve are a cut above their rivals in the new campaign, while conceding their desire to win make them a tough proposition. He added: ``The gap isn't that wide, but Juventus are used to winning. They've shown they have more hunger, that's their characteristic. ``But we're a top side ourselves, our players have plenty of character and tomorrow they'll give everything to get a result.''

JUVENTUS - LAZIO August 31, 2013 6:45 PM BST Juventus Stadium — Torino Referee:‬ P. Tagliavento‎ MATCH PREVIEW Aug 30, 2013 Juventus and Lazio started with victories, but the memory of their Super Cup clash is still fresh ahead of this League encounter. Juve have commenced with a bang. They dismantled the capital club to lift the first trophy of the season a fortnight ago, while also enjoying a positive start in Serie A. They toppled bogey club Sampdoria, with Carlos Tevez netting the only goal of the game. http://markting10.nl/ Defender Giorgio Chiellini says meeting Lazio so soon after their 4-0 victory will only serve to spur on the visitors, “Lazio will bring out something more to take revenge for the result, so we will have to be extremely careful.” The Bianconeri are expected to continue with the XI that took to the Marassi pitch last Saturday. Paul Pogba deputises for the injured Claudio Marchisio, while Simone Pepe remains on the comeback trail. Lazio bounced back from their Super Cup hammering to defeat Udinese last Sunday in their Serie A opener. A fast start proved pivotal, with Hernanes and Antonio Candreva scoring inside the first 20 minutes to set-up the 2-1 triumph. There was a sense of relief for the Biancocelesti, with Coach Vladimir Petkovic claiming they will ‘hold on tight to this result’. Before the game he made note that critics were waiting for Lazio to fail, and so deemed the victory over Udinese an important one. Petkovic has a number of injuries to contend with. Lorik Cana, Abdoulay Konko, Felipe Anderson, Emiliano Alfaro, Bruno Pereirinha and Vinicius are all missing, as is suspended captain Stefano Mauri. Federico Marchetti starred last term as Lazio held Juve to a scoreless draw, the 18th stalemate between the two. Meanwhile, the Turin club have claimed 43 wins to Lazio’s eight. Keep an eye on: Miroslav Klose (Lazio) – The German spoke in the build-up to the Super Cup of his desire to net past Juventus, after seven scoreless meetings. That number rose to eight thanks to Gianluigi Buffon, and so Klose will be eyeing that elusive goal in Turin. Form guide: Juventus ( - - - -W) Lazio ( - - - -W) Last season: Juventus 0-0 Lazio Stat fact: Lazio have not returned to Rome with maximum points since a 2-1 triumph in 2002-03, a run of nine matches. Juventus (probable): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Tevez, Vucinic Lazio (probable): Marchetti; Cavanda, Novaretti, Biava, Radu; Gonzalez, Biglia, Hernanes, Lulic; Candreva; Klose

JUVENTUS - LAZIO August 31, 2013 6:45 PM BST Juventus Stadium — Torino Referee:‬ P. Tagliavento‎ Juventus-Lazio Preview: Hosts gunning for Supercoppa repeat The Bianconeri beat the capital club 4-0 in the season's curtain-raiser and will be hoping to build on their positive start to Serie A on Saturday. Aug 30, 2013 Juventus will hope for a repeat of their Supercoppa Italiana triumph when they host Lazio in Serie A on Saturday. Antonio Conte's side ran out 4-0 winners over the Rome club in Italian football's traditional curtain-raiser between the league winners and Coppa Italia holders earlier in the month thanks to goals from Paul Pogba, Giorgio Chiellini, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Carlos Tevez. http://markting10.nl/ However, Italy international Chiellini has warned his team-mates that result is by no means a guarantee of another victory this time around. "Honestly I don’t think the gap between the two sides is as big as that scoreline might have made it seem," the defender told Sky Sport Italia. "We were good at striking for the jugular and making the most of our opportunities, but Lazio are a great side... they will be out to show people what they’re made of and get revenge against us on Saturday." Striker Tevez has settled into life in Turin quickly after his close-season switch from Manchester City, and grabbed a crucial winner for the champions in their top-flight opener at Sampdoria last week. Vladimir Petkovic’s men will head to Juventus Stadium in high spirits though, as they got over their Suppercopa Italiana disappointment by defeating Udinese 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico in their first game of the new campaign. Brazilian playmaker Hernanes and Italian midfielder Antonio Candreva were on the scoresheet for Lazio, who managed to frustrate Juventus on their last Serie A visit to Turin by coming away with a 0-0 draw last November. Claudio Marchisio is the only player unavailable to Conte as he continues to recover from a knee problem, but Lorik Cana is likely be fit for the visitors after limping out of the Udinese game with a muscular complaint. Club doctor Stefano Lovati told Lazio Style Radio: "We feared something serious but tests have confirmed that there is no serious lesion. "He is at about 80 per cent so could be available for the weekend."

Sassuolo eye Marrone co-ownership Aug 30, 2013 Another day and another club have been linked with available Juventus midfielder Luca Marrone – this time it’s Sassuolo. According to Sky Sport Italia, the Serie A new boys are ready to sign a 50 per cent stake in a player the Turin giants value at €10m. http://markting10.nl/ It is being claimed that Juve have accepted Sassuolo’s €4m co-ownership offer the 23-year-old central midfielder. Juve have already handed the Neroverdi the services of left-back Reto Ziegler this summer. Marrone, now a former Italian Under-21 international, is also being linked with Sampdoria, Udinese and Parma by today’s Corriere dello Sport.

Juventus: Real Madrid asked about Pogba Juve's director general Giuseppe Marotta says Madrid's club president Florentino Perez made enquiries into the Frenchman's availability but he told him the player is not for sale. Aug 30, 2013 Juventus director general Giuseppe Marotta has claimed Real Madrid have made enquiries into signing Paul Pogba but the club rejected their approach. The young French midfielder impressed for the Serie A champions last season and that form attracted interest from los Blancos, according to Juve's director general. http://markting10.nl/ Speaking at Thursday's Champions League draw in Monte Carlo, Marotta said the Turin giants turned down an approach for Pogba from Madrid. "Florentino Perez enquired about him but there were no negotiations," Marotta told Sky Sport Italia. The 20-year-old has become a key player in Antonio Conte's side following a switch from Manchester United in the summer of 2012. The midfielder clocked up 38 appearances in all competitions for Juve last season, and made his senior France debut at the beginning of 2013 and Marotta insists they want to hold on to their star man, He said: "We have no intention of selling him as he's no yet expressed his full potential."

Marotta confident of Juventus progress The Bianconeri director believes his side's Champions League draw could have been worse but warned of the threat that Galatasaray pose. Aug 30, 2013 Juventus director Beppe Marotta believes his side have got a good chance of progressing from their Champions League group after being drawn alongside Real Madrid, Galatasaray and Copenhagen. The Bianconeri, who reached the quarter-finals of last year's competition, approached the draw as a pot two team and Marotta has accepted that the group could have been far tougher. http://markting10.nl/ "It is a draw of medium difficulty. It could have been better, could have been worse," he said. Marotta also warned his troops that they must be wary of Galatasaray, particularly on the trip to Istanbul. "We believe that, while Galatasaray were in pot three, they are a very good side and got to the quarter-finals last season, which proves they are tough. "They won a trophy in the last few days in Turkey and in Fatih Terim they have a great coach. We know that the fans can make it tough, but they're also difficult opponents." Paris Saint-Germain were also second seeds but were handed a seemingly easier group, with Benfica Olympiakos and Anderlecht as competition, but Marotta feels the French champions will still have their work cut out. "It's a group of many possibilities. There are still four teams in there that can make anything happen." PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who represented the Turin giants earlier in his career, has never won the tournament but the 56-year-old feels he could still claim Europe's top prize before calling it quits. "He remains a top player and he has a lot of quality, so you can't say it will never happen for him."

Juventus: Llorente is not joining Barcelona Juve's sporting director Giuseppe Marotta has dismissed suggestions the attacker could leave the club just two months after arriving from Athletic Bilbao on a Bosman. Aug 29, 2013 Juventus sporting director Giuseppe Marotta has refuted speculation linking striker Fernando Llorente with a loan move to Barcelona. The 28-year-old is reported to be struggling to adapt to life in Italy following his Bosman move from Athletic Bilbao earlier this summer, leading to suggestions the Spain international could be loaned back to his homeland before the transfer window closes. http://markting10.nl/ The Blaugrana are among those said to be monitoring the striker's situation in Turin, but Marotta has dismissed the notion that his stint with the Bianconeri could be over already. He told Tuttosport: "We believe in Llorente and we have no intention of selling him." Llorente, whose contract expires in 2017, is yet to start a competitive fixture for the Italian champions, with the forward being reduced to an 89th-minute cameo against Sampdoria on Sunday.

CL: Juve visit Madrid in October Aug 29, 2013 Juventus start their Champions League campaign in Denmark, conclude in Istanbul and visit Real Madrid on October 23. http://markting10.nl/ Copenhagen-Juventus (Sep 17) Juventus-Galatasaray (Oct 2) Real Madrid-Juventus (Oct 23) Juventus-Real Madrid (Nov 5) Juventus-Copenhagen (Nov 27) Galatasaray-Juventus (Dec 10)

'Juve fight it out with Galatasaray' Aug 29, 2013 Juventus director general Beppe Marotta feels Juventus will “fight it out with Galatasaray” to join Real Madrid in the knockouts. The Bianconeri have been placed in the same Champions League group as Real Madrid, Galatasaray and Copenhagen. http://markting10.nl/ “There are great difficulties in all the groups,” Marotta told Sky Sport Italia after today’s draw in Monaco. “We will fight it out with Galatasaray, who are a strong side. They did well in the Champions League last season and recently won the Super Cup. “It won’t be easy to play in Istanbul, but we will go there and do our best. With Real Madrid we’ll try to fight them on an even keel.” Marotta was also asked about some of the transfer rumours surrounding Juventus, such as Alessandro Matri’s imminent move to Milan and a bid for Manchester United winger Nani. “Matri? We’ve always said six strikers were too many, there is the Milan opportunity and we will evaluate it. The matter has already progressed quite far. If Matri leaves, then Fabio Quagliarella will remain. “Nani extended his contract with Manchester United and we never negotiated for him.” Marotta denied the existence of a buy-out clause in Paul Pogba’s contract. “Real Madrid President Florentino Perez asked about him, but there are no negotiations. We have no intention of selling him, as he has not yet expressed his full potential.”

Juve-Real Madrid, Milan-Barca again Aug 29, 2013 Juventus take on Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid, Milan have Barcelona yet again and Napoli face Arsenal in the Champions League. The draw for the Champions League group phase was performed this afternoon in Monaco, involving three Italian clubs. http://markting10.nl/ Juventus and Milan were both second seeds, while Napoli were in the fourth pot due to their lack of experience in this competition. The Bianconeri have been paired with Ancelotti’s Real Madrid, who are perhaps the favourites to win the trophy this season, Galatasaray and Copenhagen. Milan will face Barcelona for the third year running, Dutch giants Ajax and Scotland’s Celtic. This is the only group where all four clubs are previous winners of the trophy. Napoli have a tough group, as they are going to fight it out with Arsenal, Olympique Marseille and Borussia Dortmund. It's a special moment for Gonzalo Higuain, who had been close to joining the Gunners this summer. Reigning Champions of Europe Bayern Munich are in Group D with CSKA Moscow, Manchester City and Viktoria Plzen.

Juventus deny Llorente exit claims Aug 29, 2013 Juventus have dismissed speculation that new signing Fernando Llorente could be moved on before the transfer window closes. The 28-year-old Spanish international is being paired with a possible loan switch to Barcelona, just a matter of months after leaving Athletic Bilbao on a Bosman. http://markting10.nl/ “We believe in Llorente,” Old Lady director general Beppe Marotta is quoted as saying in Thursday’s Tuttosport. “We have no intention of selling him.” Llorente’s future has been placed into doubt by some given that he hasn’t started in Juventus’ first two official games of the season. Boss Antonio Conte preferred a strike partnership of Mirko Vucinic and Carlos Tevez in the wins over Lazio and Sampdoria in the Italian Super Cup and Serie A respectively.

Marrone Sr has faith in Juve Aug 29, 2013 The father of Luca Marrone is confident Juventus will make the right decision when it comes to the future of his son. The midfielder is expected to leave Turin before the transfer window closes in favour of joining a club who can offer him more regular playing time. http://markting10.nl/ “We’ll patiently wait for Juventus to make a decision,” Enzo Marrone told Tutto Juve when asked about the 23-year-old. “I saw him over the weekend, but we didn’t talk about the transfer market. We obviously know that he is wanted by a number of sides, but we’ll just have to wait and see. “Juventus will know what to do, what is best for Luca and his growth as a player – no matter whether he stays or goes.” The now former Italian Under-21 international, one goal in 15 Serie A games for the Old Lady, has been linked with the likes of Inter, Fiorentina, Parma, Everton, Monaco and Cagliari this summer.

'Pogba worth twice as much as Bale,' says agent The agent of the 20-year-old France and Juventus midfielder, Mino Raiola, believes that if Gareth Bale is worth €100 million, his player is worth double. Aug 28, 2013 Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is worth twice as much as Real Madrid-bound winger Gareth Bale, according to his agent. The 20-year-old Frenchman is one of the most highly rated young players in Europe, and his representative Mino Raiola says Pogba is worth comfortably more than the 24-year-old Welshman. http://markting10.nl/ "How good is Paul? He's worth more than Gareth Bale, that's for sure," he told Sky Sport Italia. "If Bale is worth €100 million, Pogba is worth at least double that. "It's not my fault that [Madrid president] Florentino Perez has fixed the price of Bale at €100m. Pogba is, for me, a Salvador Dali because he is precious and important." Pogba joined the Old Lady from Manchester United in 2012, and has established himself as a key player in Antonio Conte's title-winning side. Bale, meanwhile, looks set for a move to los Blancos, in a deal that will see him become the most expensive player in the history of the game, eclipsing Cristiano Ronaldo's €94m move to the Bernabeu in 2009.

Tevez: I've had to change my game The Argentine striker is thoroughly enjoying life at Juventus since arriving at the club but admits that Serie A is harder than the Premier League. Aug 28, 2013 Juventus forward Carlos Tevez has admitted that he has needed to adapt his game since his summer move from Manchester City. The Argentine plied his trade in the Premier League for a total of seven years, turning out for West Ham, Manchester United and the Etihad Stadium outfit. http://markting10.nl/ However, he believes that Serie A has proven to be a tougher challenge than English football. "Football here is more difficult than in England. Therefore, I have had to modify a few things," he told La Stampa. "The first lesson is that you can't keep hold of the ball here because if you beat one man, then another, a third will pop up and take the ball away. "A forward needs to be good at movement and Conte is guiding me in these changes. He's already given me 10 pieces of advice which have turned out to be correct. "I wasn't lying when I said that he looks after the details like Sir Alex Ferguson." Tevez went on to say that he is enjoying Juve's tactical set-up this term, having started the season up front alongside Mirko Vucinic. "I fit well into the system because that is my role," he added. "If we went to a 4-3-3 then I would want to be the central striker. I don't like playing wide, you don't get to see a lot of the ball and I want to be in the middle of the action."

Tevez: AC Milan could not afford me The attacker has hinted he could have joined the Rossoneri this summer and admits Juventus could be found wanting in the Champions League this term. Aug 28, 2013 Carlos Tevez has suggested that he would have been opening to joining AC Milan this summer, but the San Siro were unable to meet Manchester City's asking price prior to his move to Juventus. Milan CEO Adriano Galliani stated earlier this summer that Tevez "would not betray him" when the attacker was first linked with a move to Juventus, thus suggesting that the 29-year-old was on his way to the Rossoneri instead. http://markting10.nl/ However, a move to Milan never materialised and Tevez eventually joined Juventus for a fee in the region of €10 million - a figure which the Argentine claims the Massimiliano Allegri's side were unwilling to meet. "Milan? Galliani really wanted me, but he told me that Milan did not have the money to meet City's demands," Tevez told La Stampa. The attacker then went on to discuss Juventus' chances in the Champions League and admitted they are likely to fall just short of going all the way in this season's competition. "To win the Champions League you have to be better than all the other teams. We are perhaps missing something to be the best, but we will sure give it a try to go all the way," he added.

Conte teaching Tevez about Calcio Aug 28, 2013 Carlos Tevez says Juventus boss Antonio Conte has given him 10 pieces of advice which have helped him to settle into Italian football. The Argentine joined the Old Lady this summer from Manchester City after spending the last seven years in the Premiership. http://markting10.nl/ “Football here is more difficult than in England,” the forward told La Stampa. “Therefore, I have had to modify a few things. “The first lesson is that you can’t keep hold of the ball here because if you beat one man, then another, a third will pop up and take the ball away. “A forward needs to be good at movement and Conte is guiding me in these changes. He’s already given me 10 pieces of advice which have turned out to be correct. “I wasn’t lying when I said that he looks after the details like Sir Alex Ferguson…” The South American has slotted into the second striker role in Conte’s now preferred 3-5-2 formation in Turin. “I fit well into the system because that is my role,” Tevez added. “If we went to a 4-3-3 then I would want to be the central striker. “I don’t like playing wide, you don’t get to see a lot of the ball and I want to be in the middle of the action.” Tevez, two goals in his first two officials games for the club, added: “The amount of goals I score will depend on the service. “Perhaps I got into the box more in Manchester, but there is not that much difference in positioning.” Tevez was netted as Juventus look to win their third straight Scudetto and improve on last term’s quarter-final exit in the Champions League. “You need to be better than everyone else to win the Champions League,” the 29-year-old continued. “Perhaps we are missing something to be the best, but we will give it a go.”

Chiellini admits Bayern fear The 29-year-old has admitted he does not want to face the treble-winners in Europe following a 4-0 aggregate mauling last season. Aug 27, 2013 Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has revealed he fears being drawn with Bayern Munich in the group stages of the Champions League. Antonio Conte's men were humbled 4-0 on aggregate in the quarter-final stage of last season's tournament by the German champions, who ultimately won the competition. http://markting10.nl/ And the 29-year-old, who started both clashes against Jupp Heynckes' men last term, has admitted he is dreading the prospect of being drawn alongside the Bavarians once again in Thursday's draw. He told the club's official website: "If I had to choose one team for us to avoid, it would be Bayern Munich. "But we will take each game as it comes and take stock of what happens afterwards. "The Champions League must not be an objective, but instead a dream for us to pursue." The Italian champions will be drawn from Pot three for Thursday's draw in Monaco, which takes place at 16:45 BST.

Juventus confirm interest in Zuniga The Colombian has said that he is open to moving to Turin but the Bianconeri say they do not want to ruin their relationship with Napoli in order to make it happen. Aug 27, 2013 Juventus director general Beppe Marotta has confirmed the club's interest in signing Napoli wing-back Juan Camilo Zuniga. The Bianconeri have been linked with the Colombia international all summer and the 27-year-old, who has just 12 months remaining on his contract with the Partenopei, admitted earlier this month that he would welcome a move to Turin. http://markting10.nl/ Marotta has now admitted that the Italian champions are keen to do a deal, but not at the risk of ruining their good relationship with Napoli. "He's a player that arouses much interest," the Juve director told giornalaccio rosa dello Sport. "But it is a situation that concerns Napoli, who have every right to propose a contract renewal. "We're talking about an important player in [Rafael] Benitez's squad, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to take him away. "We, given the good relations between the two clubs, do not intend to interfere." Despite their interest in recruiting Zuniga, Marotta insists that Juve have no intention of selling Mauricio Isla, who is currently being courted by Inter. "Isla will not move from Turin," he declared. "There was involvement from one club, but we said no. "We have Simone Pepe, whom we are re-integrating back into the squad [after injury] and we will count on him." Marotta did admit, however, that both Alessandro Matri and Fabio Quagliarella will be allowed to leave should they so desire. "Juve are a top club and any player would have a hard time saying goodbye," he explained. "In effect, though, we have six strikers, and that perhaps that is too many. "However, for Matri and Quagliarella, much will depend on their own decisions."

Pogba 'worth twice as much as Bale' Aug 27, 2013 Agent Mino Raiola insists Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba “is worth at least twice as much as Gareth Bale.” The representative is well-known for making headline-grabbing statements about his clients and laughed off reports Arsenal had made a £20m offer for Pogba. http://markting10.nl/ “How much does Pogba cost? Certainly more than Bale,” Raiola told Sky Sport Italia. “If Bale is worth €120m, then Paul is worth at least twice as much. Pogba is a Salvador Dali painting, while Mario Balotelli is the Mona Lisa.” Real Madrid are still trying to push through a transfer worth over £100m for Welsh wizard Bale, which would be a new world record. Pogba was signed as a free agent when his Manchester United contract expired last summer, but has quickly become a key figure for Juventus. The 20-year-old already has a senior cap for France and won the Under-20 World Cup last month. Raiola also commented on some of his other clients around Europe. “I spoke to Milan and M’Baye Niang will not move. There were some clubs who requested him, but unless something amazing happens, he will stay at Milan. “Zlatan Ibrahimovic will 100 per cent stay at Paris Saint-Germain.”

Chiellini: 'Lazio want revenge' Aug 27, 2013 Giorgio Chiellini admits Milan’s defeat to Verona was “surprising” and expects Lazio will want revenge for their Super Cup hammering. The campaign kicked off at the weekend and Juventus are on top of the table after their 1-0 win away to Sampdoria. http://markting10.nl/ “Milan’s result was a little surprising, even if I had predicted some difficulties, because it always is tough against a newly-promoted side,” Chiellini told Sky Sport Italia. “I thought they would struggle, but would never have imagined a defeat. I am happy for Luca Toni, as I didn’t expect him to still be playing at that level.” Juve’s next match is against Lazio, who were destroyed 4-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in the Italian Super Cup just over a week ago. “In all honesty, I would’ve preferred to wait more before meeting Lazio again. So few days have gone by since the Super Cup and nobody thinks the 4-0 represents a realistic gap between the teams. We did well to make the most of the opportunities, but it will be a very difficult game. “Plus Lazio will bring out something more to take revenge for the result, so we will have to be extremely careful. We want to continue winning in Serie A.” The Bianconeri are also waiting for the Champions League draw and Chiellini knows which name he doesn’t want to pick. “If I had to name a club to avoid, I’d say it was better to face Bayern Munich later in the competition.”

Juve searching for Marrone solution Aug 27, 2013 Juventus director general Beppe Marotta has confirmed they are trying to find Luca Marrone a new club. The central midfielder, 23, is rated highly by boss Antonio Conte in Turin, but he isn’t guaranteed playing time at the Juventus Stadium. http://markting10.nl/ “Marrone has the need and desire to play with regularity in another team,” the transfer official told Sky Sport Italia. “We’ll have to see what the best destination is for him before the market closes, but right now I can’t tell you where that will be.” The Italian champions reportedly value the player, one goal in 15 Serie A games for the Bianconeri, at around the €10m mark. He’s been linked with the likes of Inter, Fiorentina, Parma, Everton and Monaco this summer. Cagliari became the latest club to be paired with him yesterday.
